Boo Boo Kitty

Yeah Drews, you have roller derby as an outlet though! lol... :rose:

Hi Joanie I am from Michigan, I started at near 320...:rose: But that is all past now, all ancient history! I plan on keeping my band in me forever, it is my friend, my best friend forever! I am thinking of naming my band...lol....

Can't wait to see San Diego Claud! :rose: Chicago is like 5 hours from me! Woo hooo....lol...

Yeah, I think so nk...lol...have you seen Mrg Ryan lately??? You would certainly need booze now to have any sort of romance with her! lol...her plastic surgery is NO LONGER working...I am waiting for her to turn into Joan Rivers or something..ugly....lol...

For me BandZski I never know if I am too tight for at least a week when I hit mushies. by then the swelling goes down and you can decide if you are too tight. BUT my advice is if you are not keeping anything down, don't push it, better safe than sorry! Good luck! I tried once to live with a too tight fill and was very sorry for it later!

Steph--I am sory hun. My insurance doesn't pay for a full tt either. BUT I can get the panni and pay extra for the tt, like $2k. I am surpised they didn't offer that to you! I would look into another place if I were you. You shouldn't have to pay for the full tt, I don't. I go on the 8th of October so it is right around the corner. Brandi--I agree with you completely. I feel the same way everyday, I thought it was the magic I needed...pffff... Claud--I don't know if having a child will make you happy or not. Only you know that! I think it is something you can think about seriously and decide if it is right for you. I could think of worse things that having a child with your best friend! Faith--my parts were in the backseat of m y car, they opened the hood to look for damage and they fell out. That is their storyu anyways, they know I am paying attention so I expect less hanky panky... Va--are you feeling better sweetie? Sorry about the job stuff....life can stink somedays...ugh.. I went to the chriropracter today and it made me feel SOOO much better. My car insurance is paying for it as well as massage! That did not feel so good since my muscles are a wreck...oh well....

Complications? Not at all, expect keeping clothes on me!

lol...ok I am sorry, I remember now, there are TONS of hot women there all scantily clad laying on the beautiful beaches.... Better?? Hey, at least I didn't say Alaska is a sausage fest....lol....

Me me me! lol... hate to toot my own horn, but I have lost almost 90% of my excess weight in just a bit over a year. I thnk that is pretty sucessful! It is the best thing I EVER did for me! Good luck in making your decision...

Welcome back, welcome back, welcome back.... That was my attempt at singing that Welcome back Cotter song... You will get back into those jeans, you already know that you can do it! You have a leg up on the rest of us as far as I am concerned! Good luck to you!

I would love to move back to North Carolina. I loved it there and wish I was there everyday! Someday maybe....

Uh yeah Derick, but not many women there at all....nor beaches!

Hey I did that too! UGH!

Anyone heard from Laura on how it went for her??

Hey girls.... I totally feel like sh*t. I have whiplash and soft tissue damage in my back, so I haven't been exercising...I hate it. I can't stand it. I am so freaked out that I am going to gain weight. I know it is one of the last things I should be worried about, but I can't help it. I am loving the Vicadin though, lol...go figure... I find out today I hope if she is totaled or not. I cannnot afford that to happen, I do not have gap insurance so I would be totally screwed...ugh....but I went to go clean out my car and it is 10 times worse than it was on Friday. WTF did they do??? BK--new house!! WOO HOOO! COngratulations girle! Nikki--nice to see you girlie! How is out little band baby doing?? BK-- Glad you're having fun girl...so sorry about the ticket, that bites! UGH Steph--YEAAH! ALmost there! Claud--why have a baby now? Just curious, want to make sure you are ready! lol...not that anyone is ever truly ready for kids....lol... Faith--hey my diva. Thanks for the hugs. I need them.

I went to the Dr yesterday for a slight unfill for being too tight. I am very good about knowing when I need some out or some in...anyways...I have NOT seen my surgeon since my first fill, last year right after surgery. Since then I always see the PA there because I love her. Well anyways, he was amazed at what I had lost and then spent a few minutes pouring through my file, checking labs, bloodwork, ect. He told me that I had lost too much. I am at 85% of body weight in 14 months. (not including pre op which I think they should add). He then commenced to GRILL me about what I eat dialy, how many calories, how much protien, ect. I am sitting there completely cluess. He almost got hostile to me, telling me that it just shouldn't be. I got defensive and told him the truth, I do everything I am told to do, everything. I eat only until full, work out daily at 4 am, get all my protien, Water ect. He then looked at me and said "Oh there it is" I asked there is what? He said the reason you lost so much, the exercising. I was very confused and told him that is what we are told to do. He told me that no one does it. WTF??? I am pissed off, and at the same time proud. He told me that I am loosing too much too fast, and now I have to go for a bunch of test, like a swallow test. He is now convienced I am too tight....UGH.... Why can't it be that I actually am working the system, working the band? I am healthy. All tests show I am great, I can even run now...why is he trying to destroy it??? :help::help::help::help:

I think you are all exactly right. I will get the fluro and show him that there is nothing wrong. Although I will not be doing it this week now....blah.

Yeah Faith, I think you are right. He did assist with me so it wouldn't be like I would be stepping out of bounds... And they will NEVER call you Faith, they have too many paitents to manage. I think they are more of the "Call us when you need us" type there.

Hey girls-- I screwed up yesterday BIG BIG BIG time! I got into an accident, that was my fault! I didn't see the woman in front of me stop for a turn and rear ended her. Her car is fine but a few scrapes, but my baby, my Betty is trashed.... :eek: My freaking car! I have never had an accident before that has been my fault... I am pretty hurt, they were worried about the band and did a catscan and lots of fun stuff. I feel horrible even though I am doped up on pain meds... It is about $8k worth of damage on my car....

THANKS Chickie! :waytogo: I just saw you're I don't have a ticker line! :woot: Very cute! I never knew you lost THAT much! ! FANTASTIC!!

:waytogo: I am feeling better that I am not alone then! Damn Dr's suck sometimes! Wheestin how much more do you have to loose? I thought you look great and were already done! Kacee--so if he sees that I am not too tight he will leave me alone??

I agree with Chickie 100% and I did my honest best to be civil, I hope I did that!

Hi Roxy Welcome to LBT! Let me tell you congratulations on your success! I agree it is better to wait than to hurt yourself! It is a journey!

ROTFL....derrik making me blush again....lol.....

No Steph, after BB I am disenchanted and disheartened....blah,lol.....
